So I started my new project today — OCRing in and adapting a 500-page dead-tree procedure manual to fit a client’s needs. Throughput is about 25 pages a day right now.
Very very aggravating, in a word. This job really needs a qualified civil engineer familiar with the company’s methods and projects. Instead, I’m stuck consulting a person who doesn’t really seem to know much about the company’s methods. I just want to get it over with, get my check and get on with life.
Of course, all of this will be moot if I can get a proper, legitimate full-time job with work that’s more interesting/challenging/demanding than this garbage. Anyone willing to assist? ;p
At least these guys are legit insofar as their software licenses are all paid for and in order. It isn’t a fly-by-night operation. They even have IT staff that’s competent enough to set up an internal network with a HTTP proxy (but no NAPT, so no IRC from work for me, though of course, I shouldn’t be IRCing from work anyway. ;p)
Time to polish up this syslog writeup. At least it’s more interesting than dealing with load lifting operational procedures.
